'Know' in the Bible

David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

You know that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to find out about your activities and everything you’re doing.”

Then the king said to his soldiers, “You must know that a great leader has fallen in Israel today.

What more can David say to You? You know Your servant, Lord God.

Hushai continued, “You know your father and his men. They are warriors and are desperate like a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier who won’t spend the night with the people.

Then his wife took the cover, placed it over the mouth of the well, and scattered grain on it so nobody would know anything.

The king asked, “Is the young man Absalom all right?”Ahimaaz replied, “When Joab sent the king’s servant and your servant, I saw a big disturbance, but I don’t know what it was.”

You love your enemies and hate those who love you! Today you have made it clear that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. In fact, today I know that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would be fine with you!

So the king said to Joab, the commander of his army, “Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba and register the troops so I can know their number.”
